I have been sitting around on my behind, waiting for someone to run with. I have decided to not wait any longer. I started this running thing alone and I can continue it alone. I did take Lillie, my 9 pound dog, with me but wound up having to carry her some of the way. Won't do that again.
I love having someone to talk to when I run. I am a people person! But I have yet to find someone that is as committed as me and as slow as me. There are lots of runners here but they are way too fast for me. I had one friend that was awesome but she has since decided not to run any more. Not sure why. Another friend runs in the morning and I can't see to make myself get up in the morning time. I guess I will have to if I want to run with someone. She is the only one that I can probably really count on. I have another friend that runs with me some but is not as committed as me and she is "hit or miss" most times. So I wind up running alone. Oh well, at least I can still run. I will suck it up and make the best of it!!!
I third half marathon in just a month away. I missed my 12.5 mile training run this past Saturday because I was out of town with my daughter. Don't think I will make that up either. I will just continue on from here. I am going to try and get my butt in bed early so I can get up early. Maybe I can meet my early morning friend for a run. Someone said that if I would just do for a while, it would become habit. But I did it for almost two months and then fell into laziness again. Well, not really laziness but sleeping later and then running in the pm. But I really would like to get it done in the morning time. All I have to do is.....JUST......DO.......IT!!!!!!
MAKE it a great run my friends!!!
Hi Betty, I just had to comment when I saw the topic of your post today. I feel the same way...would love to have someone to run with. Most days I feel like the lone-ranger on my runs. I was working on a post similar to this and will be posting it tomorrow, but just wanted to say, I wish we lived closer as I would definitely run with you.
